In today's English lesson, you are going to practice the number one technique to help you with your English speaking skills.

What's that?

Well, it's pretty simple.

I'm going to say a commonly used English phrase and you are going to repeat out loud after me.

This type of repetition practice or shadowing practice is an excellent way to grow your vocabulary,

your grammar skills, your speaking skills, and your pronunciation skills.

So let's do it.

If you're new here, hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

And for over the past 10 years, I have been teaching real life English here on my YouTube channel.

Now to more than 7 million of you.

I can't believe it.

Thank you for learning English with me.

And every week I create a free PDF worksheet for you with everything you're about to learn in today's lesson.

Plus in this worksheet, there is a bonus speaking practice.

Many of you have told me that you love these bonus speaking practices, so I have continued to include them.

All you need to do to get this worksheet plus bonus speaking practice is click on the link in the description, enter your name and email address,

And voila, just like that, this will land in your email inbox.

It is my gift to you so

that you can actually go out into the real world and use everything that you're about to learn today.

How today's lesson is going to work is I'm going to say a complete, full, wonderful sentence, and then I will pause.

I want you to speak out loud during that pause.

It is essential for you to not only hear your own voice, but to use the same type of intonation,

the same vocabulary, and the same structure that I'm using in the sentence.

Today's topic is a really common one.

It is hobbies and activities.

So all of our sentences are going to answer this question, what are you into?

This is a great way to ask someone, what are your hobbies?

But this question is a lot more natural.

So let's start by practicing this sentence and I want you to listen to the intonation in my voice, that rhythm and flow.

Are you ready?

What are you into?

Notice the pronunciation here.

What are you?

What becomes wud with a D.

What are you into?

Can you say that out loud?

Go ahead.

Excellent work.

All right, let's get started with our answers to this question.

What are you into?

And I want to know in the comments, which one of these answers was true for you.

What are you into?

I usually read 30 or 40 books a year.

I'm a big reader.

I usually read 30 or 40 books a year.

Great work.

Did you speak out loud during that pause?

And did you notice this great phrase, a big reader?

Each of the sentences that we're going to repeat together have a key vocabulary phrase.

This is going to be included in the PDF worksheet so that you can review it and use it yourself.

All right, let's say this sentence one more time and I want you to listen and repeat with me.

I'm a big reader.

I usually read 30 or 40 books a year.

Excellent.

Let's go on to number two.

Go ahead.

All right, one more time.

The next sentence is a two for one.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
